Bye bye, wave wave for the manual transmission? Not if the Aston Martin is.

The British sports car manufacturer delves into the current debate on the manual gearbox. More and more car brands say bye at the old-fashioned way of driving a car. It is especially slower and onzuiniger in comparison with a modern automatic transmission. May well being, says Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer, but still, we keep the manual gearbox to maintain. Until the end of time.

Aston Martin says even the latest sports car manufacturer on earth that the manual transmission will offer it on its models. Palmer is not a fan of the automatic transmission with double clutch. According to him, the technique is heavy and complex. A remarkable statement, since almost all the single-clutch baking with pension are controlled by the car manufacturers. We guess that the more the money has to do with complexity.

My choice is fixed. Prefer stirring with a clutch pedal, then a slow robotized manual gearbox where you have a abbo can shut down at the local physical therapist as a result of back problems. So whether you have a V8 or a V12 model in Aston Martin to place an order: shifting is still possible. Now and in the future. (via Car & Driver)
